§New by-law that will allow children
(including middle school) of regional schools to choose the town in which
they’d like to play.For us, that means
Tahanto children (6th grade and above) can choose Boylston or
Berlin. If towns don’t have enough
players to each host a team, Berlin/Boylston may decide to switch teams from
year to year, or have 1 town do Girls, and the other do Boys…

§Northboro served noticed that may
leave the league, leaving Berlin as most southern town in the league.

§No change in Administration

·U7 U8 Options

§Converstion with Joe from Boylston.They will continue to have had their kids
join Northboro team.

§Instead of playing amongst
ourselves, we could play against Northboro, but we would have to play in
Northboro on Sunday afternoons.

·Still need a U6 coach.Maybe have a parent do it with a skilled high
school aged player that has aged out of the program to teach.G level coaches training program should be
taken by the parent.

·Set date for Coach's Meeting

§Want to talk about Bullying at
coaches meeting.Although we haven’t
been involved in any situations, we’ve heard stories from others.

U10 BoysWe have only 12 boys signed up. They will be playing in the Nashoba League @ 10:15 am 6 vs. 6 with a goalie in the field behind BMS. Sean Regan, Sean Mannion, and Scott Lutz all volunteered to coach the Spring2008 season. If we could not get more than 12, we would field one U10 team instead of two. Rosters had to be sumitted by Saturday, January 18 2008. We ended up with one team.

High School GirlsThis spring the Nashoba League is offering a high school flight girls team of various ages 11 vs. 11

U12 GirlsWe have 12 girls signed up for a 8 vs. 8 format. Evy Dueck will be the head coach with Erin Mannion and Cathy Porter assisting.

U12 Boys12 players are signed up. The team has been moved up to M Cup 8 vs. 8.Scott Parmenter is coaching.

Our challenge as an organization is to answer the question, "Do we organize our league based on skill levels versus a combined abilities?"The majority felt the objective of Berlin Youth Soccer is for all children regardless of ability, to improve their soccer skills and have fun. WE want our kids to develop a sense of comeraderie and good sportsmanship as well as touching the ball as much as possible. The Puma League offers children the chance to enter a more competitive environment if so desired.

Registration: Sue will get registration forms for Fall soccer to hand out to the teams through the coaches. Possibility of a U14 Fall team?? To be determined.

Awards/Medals: Trophies for U6-U12 and nylon back packs for U14 and U16 girls.

Cookout: Soccer will need volunteers to pick up and set up tables 1 hour before the cookout. Date is still being determined. Baseball will take care of the rest.

Equipment: We bought a paint machine and some paint. We are looking for volunteers to cut up broken goals and take them to the dump. There is a possibility we may need to buy new 8v8 goals next year, Puma may split the cost.

Cleat Swap: Thank you to Christy West for organizing the cleat swap. We are hoping to make this a yearly or seasonal event.

MLS Camp: Flyers will be sent through the school and through coaches to their teams. Please promote this camp to your teams. It is a great camp for all age groups! Thank you toHolly for coordinating with MLS.

BYS Night at the Revs: Date to be determined. Flyers will be sent through school and through coaches to their teams and also through e mail. The more the merrier, please promote this to your teams also, it is a great time!

Memorial Day Parade: Monday May 28. Sean Regan offered to march with the kids. They need to be at the school for 12:30, the parade starts at 12:45.

Next Meeting: Tuesday June 19 7:30. It is important that all coaches attend to plan for next season. A lot of changes are going to need to be made as far as coaching. I will send an e mail reminder.

Tony opened the meeting by discussing our mission as Berlin Youth Soccer and that is to provide an opportunity for the kids to enjoy the sport of soccer. It doesn't matter if we win or lose, as long as the kids have fun!

MLS Camp is offering a coaches clinic possibly for Thursday March 29. Holly Parmenter will confirm a date and time and let us know. It is important for all coaches and assistants to attend to learn new drills and fun ways to teach the kids soccer skills.

The season will begin April 7 and end 1st week of June.

Look into clinics that MYSA might offer.

Registration forms for Spring have volunteer options some ideas we came up with were:

6. New Business

Futsol in Hudson: Boys U12 participated and found it to be a great program, teaches ball control, seems more effective than indoor soccer.

Indoor Teamworks: competition has been tough for all teams participating.

Referee Development: Looking for new blood as referees, we have the info for anyone interested. Must be 11 or older.

Team Season Updates: G-U12: Doing well, but not enough competition in Assabet League. Looking to move to Nashoba league for the Spring season

B-U12: Doing well

G-U10: Doing well with good competition in the Assabet League

B-U10: Doing well, evenly matched with other teams

U-8: Fall season is going well, Boylston is more evenly matched with Berlin this season than in the Spring last year.

U-6: Doing great. Some of the goals need to be repaired, Dave White to talk to Henry Pacific about repairing these. Talked about lining a U-6 field for the Spring to teach the kids to stay within the lined fields, so that when they move up to UI-8 they are familiar with this.

Season Wrap Up:

Equipment: Evy Dueck is our equipment manager. Be sure to collect all shirts from the players and return them to Evy with the equipment. It may be helpful to make a list of what you are returning, so Evy can keep track of what is coming in and what each coach will need for next season. If your team is playing indoor soccer at Teamworks, the kids may use the Berlin Youth Soccer shirts. The coaches are responsible for collecting the shirts from the players after the indoor is over. If a player is not playing indoor, their shirt must be given to the coach. All team members must be asked to play indoor if you are using the BYS shirts.

Awards: The medals were handed out to the coaches present at the meeting. There will not be an end of season event. This can be done individually with your own team.

Sign up notice for next season: When handing out medals, please hand out registration form for Spring, and let them know they need to get these in ASAP. The deadlines for the leagues are in December, so we need to know how many teams we will have playing. It looks like there will be a G-U14 and a G-U16 for Spring.

Nashoba Update: The league is asking us to replace the nets on the 8v8 filed, because the ones on there are 11v11 nets. Tony will check with Puma on this, because they use the field too.

New Business:

BYS and Berlin Baseball were approached by the Recreation Committee on behalf of the DPW who are looking to buy a new lawnmower. They are looking for $1,000 from us and $1,000 from baseball.

Referee Development: BYS is looking for referees 11 years old or older. Coaches of U12 and U14 to notify their teams and e mail the information on it.

Hudson Youth Soccer is trying to coordinate a Futsol League to play at the Hudson Portuguese Club gym. The games will be 4v4 (1 goalie, 3 fielders) and are for the U12 and U14 levels only. U-12 will play Mondays 6pm-8pm and U14 to play Wednesday 6pm-8pm beginning mid November. These will be 40 minute games and will focus on technique, skills and keeping the ball in bounds.

Recycling cleats: Christy West has kindly offered to start a program on recycling cleats that do not fit any more. More information will follow.

Next meeting will be in early December and will be MANDATORY for all coaches planning to coach in the Spring. If you want to add anything to the agenda, please let us know!
